Love the mythic beasties & little weekend art time, so for “long fish” theme & ...taniwha, supernatural eel of Maori legend. Based on New Zealand’s freshwater longfin eel, taniwha, feared & revered, are monstrous, magical mysteries of the deep.

The week before I like to celebrate ! I’m starting it off strong with Marbled Electric Ray, Torpedo marmorata. This sweet flat sea baby creates electrical pulses for both predation and protection!

Though they may be short in stature compared to some others, here is a fish with a long lifespan. One orange roughy near Tasmania was aged at 250 years old.

My pick for deep water fish is this smooth oreo dory (Pseudocyttus maculatus) who lives at depths between 400 - 1500 m

The quintessential deep-sea fish, the humpback anglerfish, is well-adapted for life at 2000 m below the ocean's surface - its "lure" (called an esca) is filled with bioluminescent bacteria that reel in prey in the cold darkness of the bathypelagic zone

Like , I also picked a forehead brooding nurseryfish (Kurtus gulliveri) for Father’s Day See their post for egg placement. Read that this strategy may keep the eggs out of hypoxic/anoxic conditions.
I liked the colors quite a bit.
